The United States of the early twenty-first century faces serious issues. The end of the Cold War has left us with the obligation to seek out a new paradigm. If you make this country your home, even for just a few years, they will become your issues are well.

World sympathy for the United States was genuine and heartfelt in the weeks following 9/11. When the U.S. military dismantled the Taliban in Afghanistan and destroyed the camps used to train terrorists, the world largely supported us.

Even some of our staunchest allies no longer support us.
